I say; "Finally" because I'd wanted to ride these trails for a while now. Lynn had the opportunity to ride there over the weekend & agreed to share her new found knowledge with me today! The weatherman was correct regarding the quality of the November day - warming to almost 60 degrees! We were lucky too - as Lisa
skipped school to act as our trail guide! :-)

This was such a Nice ride! The information posted on the link above was a very accurate description of the area. Wooded, wetland - but with some nice views & reasonably dry footing. From fog & cold earlier in the morning - before noon we were enjoying beautiful clear sunshine & warming temps!

Most of the trails we rode were marked with a variety of small items that
illustrated the trail names.

| Loved this one! |
We covered a Lot of ground, Lynn wants to learn the trails, I'm - as usual - along for the ride! :-) With no sense of direction to speak of, I just have to memorize
loops & go from there - that takes a long while!

| Beautiful afternoon~ |
This was a memorable ride for Linnea too! She passed the 1,000-mile mark for the year, riding both her good mares! The only other rider I know who can claim that milestone! I've thought about doing a mileage derby for Washington State riders - but am unsure how many riders would be interested... It's easy to say how much you're riding - but actually logging miles publicly & sharing that info. with others isn't everyone's cup of tea.

We stood enjoying the sun & sharing stories for a while after the ride, while our horses kicked back & soaked it up. I stopped by Courtney's on the way home - a short visit, hot tea & warm hugs from Mason & Cassidy, sent me on my way. With less than a month to go before the winter solstice - each hour of daylight becomes more precious!
Those trails look awesome! What a ride :)
ReplyDeleteThe trail markers are so quirky! Love it.
ReplyDeleteCool trail! We have some "unusual" markings on our home trails as well. I helped clear some of them and that was really fun- hunting for the best route through W. Wa forest land can be really challenging!
